Even in pocket-sized Frankfort, you have options for coffee--and Crescent has been my favorite. I've been spending my summers in Frankfort for many years, and Crescent has been a terrific and dependable shop. Ordering online will make your morning better. Avoid the line. There is a line. I see people sitting inside, but it's super tiny. Plus, Lake Michigan is right down the street. Get your coffee and a sack of food, and enjoy a Frankfort morning. read more

We stayed in Frankfort for 4 days and came to Crescent twice! We loved it so much! The donuts were great, and the sandwiches were even better! My husband said it was the best breakfast sandwich he's ever had. We met the owner the second time & he was so kind. 10/10 recommend! read more

I was visiting the place and had no idea where to find vegan brunch but yelp came to my rescue. I went this shop based on a review that mentioned they have vegan food and they did. I had vegan morning sandwich with vegan donut and vegan mocha latte and it was DELICIOUS. Please try it, if the line is long then it's worth the wait, go for it. Oh also, the location is so amazing that while waiting you can go for a good walk. read more

Smells so good the second you walk in! Cute little bakery right off the corner of 4th and Main. Frankfort has the cutest downtown ever and I'll argue with anyone about it. We came here by chance because Bella's kitchen was closed. Worked out wonderfully! They have a delicious display of pastries but I went straight for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. I also got a sausage one. The sandwiches came on the crispy, buttery, perfectly toasted sourdough bread, a light mayo, and the tastiest Asiago cheese blend. The breakfast sandwich was perfect! Held both my husband and I over until dinner. Definitely recommend stopping in! By luck, I missed a line, but don't be afraid to wait. The sandwiches come out quickly and slow down...you're on vacation. read more

Crescent Bakery & Cafe is a cute little cafe that has a wide selection of desserts and sandwiches. Since Frankfort is of course a small town the place gets really busy. I visited early in the morning closer to when they opened and it was still a handful of people getting serviced. When I walked past later in the day they had a line of people. I tried one of the breakfast sandwiches and ordered a few pastries. Hopefully, I don't think they place would be as popular if there wasn't small selection of places that open early. Everything was mid at best. The breakfast sandwich was beyond bland. I couldn't even finish it because it tasted like I was eating nothing. Maybe if I had salt and pepper I could've finished it. I rarely see a place that would make you choose Dunkin Donuts over them. I have been spoiled with assuming a mom and pop style place would have a higher quality of food. I only took a few bites of my pastry and gave the rest away. I left Crescent Bakery & Cafe hungry and disappointed. My read more

I love the Crescent Bakery. I've been going here since forever. My favorite pastry is the cherry cheese croissant. Yum! Almond and chocolate croissants are not bad either. I think if they were a NYC pastry shop, they would figure out how to separate coffee only people, from food orders and speed things up. But it's ok. I also wish they were open more. But it's ok. Am just happy they are still there on Main St. read more

Great doughnuts and baked goods, plus sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. Lovely pressed tin ceiling, wonderful collection of cookie jars, and nice place to sit and people watch along the street. I got the chicken pecan sandwich, which comes on a pretzel bun. Delicious sandwich; just the right size; but $11.75. My companions had the caprese sandwich and the pesto chicken sandwich, and reported they were very tasty. Only negative: they've gone over to Coke only , no Pepsi. read more

Excellent pastries, bread and breakfast sandwiches. Local and Tourist favorite. Family owned. Located on Main Street in Frankfort, Michigan. read more

They have gluten free bread for sandwiches, and a flourless chocolate heart - unfortunately no GF donuts or other sweets. They were very busy on a Sunday morning but mentioned up front there was a 20 minute wait for sandwiches, so I knew what to expect. My avocado egg and cheese sandwich was delicious! read more

Lunch, coffee, bread, pastries all great, try the soup! Get a Loyalty buyers card for coffee / bread too! The Cherry fritter is a must. The Batman breakfast sandwich (add avocado) is so tasty, we came so many times- great service and many selections! We like to sit at the windows at look out. read more

Use to love this place! What happened???? Preordered 2 apple fritters, because previously they were good. Today? Like 2 big rocks. Fritters usually have all those delicious little nubs and crannies, crusty and filled with chunks of apple. Found 1 piece of apple in only one of the fritters. And zero taste. I mean zero! So disappointing. read more

Great sandwich, donuts, and coffee. So glad they were open when so many were closed.

Stayed at crystal lake and drove to Frankfort morning for planned breakfast pick up from Crescent Bakery with D...dddelicious donuts and sourdough bread. Bagels and cream cheese good too. But the Cake donuts and regular Boston cream donuts were really top notch, not too sugary and sweet. Best part they were actual donuts, not like others filled with running cream but fluffy and creamy donuts with all content in perfect measurement read more

BLT with Avacado was very good. Nice bakery with good choice of donuts. Enjoyed our visit. Small place. Visit early as they close at 2:00 pm read more

Don't bother getting any coffee here, just come for the pretzels at 11. Order online to save waiting in line! Donuts were pretty decent too - but we have better spots near home. Mostly come for the bread or pretzels! read more

Delicious and generous portions with fast, friendly service. The cherry fritters are HUGE! We'll be back.

Ordered ahead Cherry fritters and turnovers since they sell out fast and make fresh daily. Ended up buying cherry danish and regular cinnamon sugar donut when arrived. Nice people, good prices and highly satisfied. read more

Giving this place 5 stars and have only ordered their huge, buttery pretzels. They are delicious and fluffy with a good bite to them. My aunt recommended them to us when we visited back in Nov 2020 and had to order them again this summer. The place is very small with a huge menu of paninis, sandwiches, soup, and donuts...plus a coffee bar. read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches! Had to grab few donuts too while waiting. I love the details - beautifully hand written name on the bag, carefully folded crisp edges, and smile. Reason to visit small town and become a resident. read more

Amazing food. Coffee, hot sandwiches, fresh baked goods. Small area to eat inside or take to go eat by the water. Came every day we were in town and preferred over any sit down restaurant. read more

I love the Boston Creme donuts!! 2 thumbs up, easy ordering online, then just walk in and pick up.

Both the donuts and the breakfast food was amazing! The donuts had an amazing texture and the sandwiches were tasty! The coffee was great too. All around a great experience. The really cute cookie jars were so fun to look at! read more

Oh so good donuts! You would think this place needs to rename their cafe the Crescent Bakery and DONUT cafe by the love they give this fried treat. We were driving back home after a trip near Traverse City and I had a huge craving for donuts. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to stop by one of my favorite places Peace Love and Donuts (they have such cute mini donuts) but I digress as fate makes it own course sometimes.... By still indulging in my search for a great donut it brought forth amazingly tasty and big donuts at Crescent Bakery. They had glazed, cinnamon, Boston creme, maple glazed bacon, and others. I picked my two faves of glazed and Boston cream. The donuts were soft, fluffy, and delicious. Everything you would want in a donut. The staff was friendly and patient as I stared at all their lovely donuts. The place is small and there were other baked goods there too, like bread but my eyes were only on the prize that day... Thank you Crescent Bakery you made me believe there are still amazing donuts in the world. You rock! read more

My husband, two small children and I stopped in to grab some (much needed) coffee and snacks as we headed out of town. We were greeted by the sweetest people - with friendly smiles & relatable conversation. Left a lasting impression even 2 hours into the drive - "Those were some of the nicest people!" We will certainly be back! read more

Generally great stuff, but Saturdays they were low on stock and some of the pastries were not really fresh. They are large and heated up in the microwave. Prices are above average. read more

Great food and friendly staff! My daughter and I come from Traverse just for their breakfast sandwiches. She tried one three years ago (she was a very picky eater) and has eaten breakfast sandwiches ever since! They also offer a gluten free option which is a must for our family. Highly recommended! read more

I moved to the area a year ago and have been looking for a great local bakery/coffee spot to frequent. Crescent's hours are great, opening up at 7am, and their doughnuts are tasty. Breakfast sandwiches are good, not great. I went yesterday around 11am to grab a sweet treat and a coffee, and the coffee was lukewarm and in my opinion too strong. I have worked in the restaurant service industry for years and I know the ins and outs of hospitality. In my opinion, whoever is working should be constantly sampling the coffee throughout the day, and if it is sub-par you should pull it and brew a fresh pot. Or, keep track of the time it was brewed, and every hour refresh it. These are easy way to ensure your costumers are getting a quality product. I'm kind of a stickler for these kinds of things, as well as excellent customer service. In my opinion, the customer service hasn't stuck out as extremely friendly in my experiences. This place has such potential to be GREAT! But it's just not there right now. However, it's the only bakery around. And therefore, probably won't change its ways due to not having competition. read more

Order ahead and pick up int he summer, as this place is usually hopping! One of the best panini breakfast sandwiches I've had. We stop here at least once, every vacation. read more

Legit, fresh, to-go breakfast in Frankfort! Saturday morning on a holiday weekend meant there was a small line out the door, customers waiting to grab their favorite doughnuts or breakfast sandwiches. The staff remained incredibly friendly despite the crowd. Really kind folks here at Crescent Bakery. My egg & cheese panini featured freshly baked sourdough and was perfectly seasoned, simple and delicious. Their brewed coffee is brewed from Leelanau Coffee which is only okay. Their espresso drinks might be better? Would totally return to this little gem. A great small-town bakery making quality products! read more

Delicious donuts, muffins and breads. You can taste the freshness. Great selection and very clean. Do not pass this place up!

Guy is a jerk on simple inquiries! We have been LONG time customers for YEARS!! But due to HUGE lack of common decency and customer service NEVER AGAIN can't support rudeness, don't care about your customers then your business will not survive!! read more

Excellent doughnuts, breads, and especially breakfast sandwiches! Grab a sandwich and coffee and go to the beach and watch Frankfort wake up

Best bread on earth. Period. It's like sent from the heavens or something. Sourdough, Asiago, peasant bread... all delicious.

Stayed the night in Frankfort and wanted to pick up something quick before heading out. Stopped and ordered panini's and donuts! The panini's were tasty but needed a bit more fillings. OMG, the donuts were out of this world, absolutely delicious!! I have had my share of donuts in my life time and these were the best I've had!! The Boston Creme and Nutty Crescent are a must!! Definitely will be back if I'm back in the area, or maybe even if I have to make the 5 hour trip!! read more

This place is the bomb! Their paninis are so good and unique. Try the Casablanca! Really unique, cohesive flavors. We came here twice on our trip to Frankfort. Great coffee as well. Highly recommended read more

What a pleasant surprise! Came to sightsee and do some shopping during our vacation to Manistee -came up the shore for the day to this delightful little site! The recommendations from the staff, the smiles, and the service was an exemplary sample of the Michigan hospitality we have come to love our annual vacation! The coffee bar is well stocked - Both with variety and service! The barista was well equipped with suggestions and smiles! The bakery held delicious unique deserts (cherry fitters!) as well as the well lived traditional delights. The menu again held a variety of choices - satisfying both the young with its safe & familiar kid's menu while offering the more mature patrons with savory combinations (Applejack stack & shrimp & corn chowder soup). Seating can get a bit tight during peak hours, but it's no wonder with such a great establishment as this! read more
